Notes About The Poem

In memory of my sister-in-law that passed Tuesday 13, 2022

A White Dove Above Their Soul

a white dove above their soul
a languid breath left~
painful sobs of numbing grief

life curtain slowly closes
memories slowly transform ~
fades in and fades out

wind drifts and fondles
quaking curtain unveiling~
their true essence never leaves
